Supercross
A great crowd braved terrible weather conditions in Wollongong to see local rider Jay Marmont (Motorex KTM Racing) take his fifth consecutive Pro Open win in round seven of the Australian Supercross Nationals at WIN Stadium.
The technical track, that should have provided the best racing yet, deteriorated to a mud bath in the torrential rain, but a cool Marmont kept a huge lead throughout the race with No Fear Honda
SUPERCROSS and FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS are coming back and are set to rock Hobart’s Derwent Entertainment Centre on Saturday the 17th of April.
Why are more people turning their attention to extreme sports?
Because everyone imagines themselves being charged up enough to put their lives at risk and walking away. There is a quest in us all to find an adrenalin charge.
Extreme sports are about individuality, higher levels of achievements, redefining your personal performance boundaries, finding your limits and then pushing them. The extreme sport movement has had a large impact upon a diverse audience and has well and truly captured their attention.
The thrill of extreme competition only heightens the adrenalin charge and that's what draws the thousands of spectators to the racetrack. They're hungry for the thrills and spills of the event and are eager to soak it up- they want to become part of the event and its atmosphere!
The first half of the 2004 Supercross season has, without a doubt, had its ups and downs, but Moto XXX and Damon Huffman couldn't be happier with the way things have gone. After multiple top five finishes, a holeshot and several inspired performances, "H-Diddy" has a 19-point lead on the rest of the field in the World SXGP championship hunt.
The most recent rounds in Minneapolis and Atlanta have yielded encouraging results. Damon finished fifth in Minneapolis, where he was one of three Honda CRF450 pilots in the top five. The following week in Atlanta, he earned the Butterfinger Holeshot award for putting the #20 machine through the first turn ahead of the other nineteen riders.

SUPERCROSS NATIONALS: MARMONT CONTINUES WINNING STREAK IN THE PRO OPEN
[image:1992,right]Wollongong's Jay Marmont (20, Motorex KTM) once again proved his superlative fitness and tactical ability with another win at Round Five of the Australian Supercross Nationals in Adelaide. Teammate Cheyne Boyd, who led Marmont for the first half of the race took second, with Cameron Taylor claiming third position for Team CDR Boost Mobile Yamaha.
The eventful race saw the top three placings swap several times with Team Suzuki's Danny Ham (Thornton, NSW) missing out on a podium place after a frustrating 18th lap sent him back two spots into fifth position. Ham will hope to reverse these results on home territory next week in Gosford. Teammate Mitch Hoad (Cessnock, NSW) will not be able to compete in the Gosford round (also his home turf) due to a broken collar bone sustained during practise.
